I know the sound well, and hopefully now it's nothing more than a memory. The broken ringbuffer read has been fixed, and now uses two buffer periods instead of one. 0.12.0-pre1 should treat you right. > Some more info... > Switching tabs in my window manager (ion3) causes artefacts in phasex > sound.

I can run muse, hydrogen, and six instances of phasex on my Turion laptop, clock it down to 1.6GHz, fire off a couple mprime stress tester threads, and switch tabs to my heart's content without hearing the "wrong" sound now. This has been tested both with and without the opensource radeon drm. If you can, enable BackingStore in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf so the knobs don't have to be redrawn every tinme you switch tabs. The clocks in my Turion really don't like the 2.6.23-rt or 2.6.24-rt kernels, so all of this has been tested on 2.6.31-rt11. This is the first kernel on this particular laptop that can give me drm, exa acceleration, and backing store at the same time. > # ps -eLo rtprio,pid,spid,class,args |sort -rn|head -n 20 > 99 4 4 FF [posix_cpu_timer] > 99 3 3 FF [migration/0] > 98 845 845 FF [IRQ-8] > 97 5 5 FF [softirq-high/0] > 82 1232 1232 FF [IRQ-20] > 80 12779 22340 RR /usr/bin/jackdbus auto > 80 12779 22338 RR /usr/bin/jackdbus auto > 80 12779 22337 RR /usr/bin/jackdbus auto > 77 22421 22424 FF phasex-01 > 75 22421 22427 RR phasex-01 > 75 22342 22355 RR /usr/bin/a2jmidid dbus > 50 9 9 FF [softirq-block/0] > 50 989 989 FF [IRQ-17] > 50 921 921 FF [IRQ-16] > 50 8 8 FF [softirq-net-rx/] > 50 854 854 FF [IRQ-15] > 50 851 851 FF [IRQ-14] > 50 80 80 FF [IRQ-9] > 50 7 7 FF [softirq-net-tx/] > 50 6 6 FF [softirq-timer/0] > > -- > Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0> > It's been suggested in the past to put the softirq-high threads at a high priority (just under the rtc, like you have done), but I get xruns whenever I put it above JACK. What kind of audio hardware and clock hardware do you have? Just curious. Give 0.12.0-pre1 a spin and let me know how it goes. http://sysex.net/phasex Cheers, --ww _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
